Insane
Flume Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't even have to be brave
Living in a gilded cage
The only risk is that you'll go
Go, Go
Insane
Go, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Go, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Go
Go insane
And go
Go insane
And go
Go insane
And go, go, go, go insane
And go
Your mind is on track
For games we play these days
With every parth we take
You know your safe, safe, safe
The only risk is that you'll go insane
The only risk is that you'll go insane
And go
Go insane
And go, go, go
Go insane
And go
Go insane
And go, go, go
Go insane
Go insane
Go insane
Go insane
And go, go, go
Go insane
The lyrics to Flume's song 'Insane' seem to be a commentary on modern life. The opening lines 'You don't have to be afraid, You don't even have to be brave' suggest a lack of courage is not a barrier to success. However, the following line that reads, 'Living in a gilded cage' squashes this ideal. The gilded cage represents the modern society that provides material comforts yet confines and restricts people in a mental and emotional sense.
The lyrics then suggest that conforming to societal norms and the pressure to be safe, can drive one insane. This notion is repeated in the chorus, 'The only risk is that you'll go insane.' The backing track emphasizes the confusion and disorientation, employing numerous changes in tempo, pitch, and rhythm. The use of repetition and minimalism, both in the backing track and lyrics, emphasizes the monotony of living in a routine life.
Overall, Flume's lyrics for 'Insane' vividly illustrate the contradictory nature of modern society's so-called ideal lifestyle. On one hand, life appears prosperous and comfortable, but on the other, it is restrictive and mundane, threatening to push even the sanest individuals to the brink of insanity.
Line by Line Meaning
You don't have to be afraid
You need not worry about anything
You don't even have to be brave
Being brave is not necessary
Living in a gilded cage
Living in a luxurious but restrictive environment
The only risk is that you'll go
The only consequence will be that you'll go
Go, Go
Keep going
Insane
Mentally unstable or crazy
Go, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Keep going despite the risks
And go, go, go, go insane
Keep going even if it means losing sanity
Your mind is on track
You are thinking clearly
For games we play these days
For the challenges we face in life
With every path we take
With every decision we make
You know your safe, safe, safe
You feel secure and protected
And go, go, go
Continue pushing forward
Go insane
Risk losing your sanity
Go insane
Risk losing your sanity
Go insane
Risk losing your sanity
And go, go, go, go insane
Keep going no matter the cost
Go insane
Risk losing your sanity
Go insane
Risk losing your sanity
Go insane
Risk losing your sanity
And go, go, go
Keep going despite the risks
Go insane
Risk losing your sanity
